As an abstract encaustic painter working with molten beeswax and pigment, I build up layers and textures then scrape the cooled paint back to reveal what’s buried underneath. I incise lines of contrasting color into luminous backgrounds to explore the relationship between the definite and the amorphous, that place where a hard edge or line meets the soft and yielding.   

In both art and life I think this border--between land and sky, sleeping and waking, curiosity and certainty--is where we are most alive and can see most clearly.
